yes the big ones with no announcement are MSI and Gigabytes. I would really like to know if it is Nvidia cleaning the place or a board partner decision. XFX was one of the top ones with EVGA, FAIL. Good one for the red team. Hope XFX does not suffer to much.

Sounds to me like the margins are small on the nV cards. Probably team green wants quite a bit for their chips, and once you add in board and component costs, plus marketing, XFX just saw more green comming out of the red company.

Sky, you figure they will be waiting or are they just flat out not going to be selling them? If so, I think Nvidia will be getting a bit pissy at them... why let them avoid the high end and only sell low-end? Just my thoughts, I have no clue how these companies really work.
